This January, Endometriosis UK Dundee Support Group members are taking part in the Winter Walk for Endo to ensure that everyone with endometriosis gets on the right pathway to care.

Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition that affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth. Those suffering with condition, including myself, are often faced with making challenging and difficult decisions during diagnosis, treatment and management of endometriosis.

All too often, people think Endometriosis is "just a bad period" and that's if they've heard of it to begin with... Sadly there is no cure and no one treatment that works for us all. It's also important to remember that no two people experience Endo in exactly the same way.

You perhaps know someone who has Endo, someone who is good at putting their brave face on, hiding their pain behind closed doors. How about reaching out and checking in on them every once in a while? I'm sure they'll appreciate you doing so.
